| GAME ENGINE |
Soulmask development history
Soulmask is an ambitious survival game developed by Qooland Games with CampFire Studio. Announced in 2023, the game has attracted the attention of gamers on Steam NextFest, where it debuted with an impressive 40-hour demo that attracted over 180 players. Development of the game began with the goal of creating a unique survival experience that combines elements of mysticism and ancient civilizations.
The development team strived to create a world that was both beautiful and brutal. The main concept of the game revolves around a mysterious mask that gives its wearer unique abilities and knowledge. Players start from scratch and must build their survival by exploring a vast open world populated by diverse and realistically rendered creatures.
During the development process, the team actively interacted with the player community, collecting feedback and making changes based on the received data. This allowed for more balanced and exciting gameplay. One of the key aspects of development was the attention to detail and realism of the environment, which included the development of a complex system for survival and tribal management.
Graphics in Soulmask
Graphic design Soulmask impresses with its detail and realism. The game uses modern rendering technologies to create picturesque and detailed scenes. The game’s environments, including forests, mountains, rivers and deserts, have been carefully designed to ensure maximum immersion in the world.
Particular attention is paid to lighting and shadows, which play a key role in creating the atmosphere of the game. The use of dynamic global illumination and volumetric shadows adds depth and realism to every scene. This is especially noticeable at night and in changing weather conditions, when light and shadows create a dramatic effect.
Particle effects such as smoke, fire and water have also been carefully designed to add visual richness and realism. The game’s combat system includes many animations and visual effects that make each battle spectacular and dynamic. This makes the gameplay more exciting and visually impressive.
Game engine
Soulmask uses a powerful game engine U, which provides high performance and realism. Unreal Engine 4 supports a variety of platforms and operating systems, including Windows, macOS and Linux. This allows the game to run on a variety of devices with a high level of detail and performance.
One of the key features of Unreal Engine 4 is its support for realistic physics and interactive environments. This allows for dynamic scenes where players can interact with the environment, build and destroy objects, and use various elements for survival and combat. The physics system also plays an important role in the game’s combat system, where every attack and movement takes into account real-world physics.
The game engine also provides support for a large number of characters and objects on the screen, which is especially important for multiplayer game modes. This allows you to create large-scale scenes and epic battles that can involve dozens of players at the same time. Engine optimization allows you to maintain high frame rates and stable game performance even under high loads.
| DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES |
Maximum graphics settings в Soulmask provide impressive visual quality with highly detailed textures, realistic lighting and shadows. Particle effects such as smoke, fire and water look dynamic and rich, while character and environment animations are smooth and realistic.
Minimum graphics settings Reduce texture resolution, simplify lighting and shadows, and reduce particle effects. Animations remain high-quality, but less detailed, ensuring a stable gaming experience on less powerful systems.
